Do the contestants on The Bachelor truly believe they will find a husband on the reality show?

No, most of them just go on the show for free vacation, the nice dates they wouldn't be able to in real life, the TV time and 15 mins of fame, to make friends, the experience, or to be the next Bachelor/ette or to get cast on Bachelor Pad.

Maybe like 1-3 people might actually go on for love but it's not many.

Some of them get love out of that's not really why people go on the show.

Producers will brainwash them into thinking they like/love this person. I mean that's all their focus is on. They can't watch TV, have a phone, use internet,computer. can't read. They can't leave the hotel unless they are on a date.Have to spend most their time with these other Contestants.

When your only focus is on this person, your competing to win over this person, going on these nice vacations, going on these really expensive dates. Your going to be brainwashed into thinking you love this person.

Producers hammer into you to think a certain way.They try to make you do certain things.

Most the contestants after they go home/after filming realize they weren't really in love.

How can you really be in love someone after 6 weeks, and even after you maybe have spent maybe 1 week's worth of knowing them. And getting engaged after that.That's why so many Couples don't last cuz they don't really know eachother.

If you listen to Jason and Molly's podcast they will tell you how forced and fake it really is behind the scenes. And this is coming from a Couple who met on this show and got married.

And Reality Steve(who Spoils the season) will tell you how fake it is.

I only watch for the entertainment. I know it's not really about love.

They are just trying to make a TV show and that's it. If they get a successful couple who gets married it's a plus for them.
